Take, say, Deserted Facility and Brier Patch and make them into free-for-all maps that will launch with the first 2 players to queue up, but will accept up to, say, 10 players?
First player to reach 20 kills wins (XP and medals all around as usual).
No teams. Just a free-for-all deathmatch.
- Fixes problems for Klingons where there aren't enough players to start a real match (off hours / low levels)
- Could also be a solution for Feds and their long queue times.
- Easy to implement.
It would actually make more sense as a Klingon-only thing but I'm sure we can come up with some excuse to let the Feds in on it too.
Yes, this is a really shallow game type idea (which I am generally against) but it does solve what may be a serious problem, particularly on the Klingon side, when there aren't enough people queuing up for any other kind of normal PvP.
Comments
Deserted Facility: Upon entering the facility you discover why it was abandoned: an infectious agent that causes the victim to go into a fit of rage permeates the facility! Fight for your survival.
Brier Patch: A mysterious burst of radiation from the Brier Patch has struck all ships within five lightyears. The radiation appears to cause severe paranoia and you are starting to suspect those other ships are piloted by Undine. Don't let those *******s survive!
Your right, it'd be a totally shallow shooting match. And I'd enjoy it.
But I don't think now would be the best time to implement it. Certain abilities like spamming VM, subnuc, FBP, and unstoppable "iwin" combos like jam sensors/VM and double VM, or RSP and FBP stacking would just become horribly prevalent, and start to ruin everyone's match.
Once those things get ironed out, It'd be a blast, and I'd fully support it.
Yeah it would help add this please.
FFA idea = Brilliant. Go Go Go
Doesn't sound like a derailment to me, sounds like a great idea
